Other Vintage Collections

[tundra9]

Ah ok, always thought medals and jewelry previously owned by dead people were a weird thing to collect
Looks kinda nice though, like it was worn with pride

 

[jambobbyb]

I can totally understand the Creepy factor behind Medal collecting, The sad thing is a lot of these guys did die during the conflicts they fought in especially WW1, Collectors of British awards have literally 100s of available resources to trace these guys through and i think its important even after 157 and 94 and years after these guys died there story can still be told which has all come through ownership of awards.

 

[tundra9]

Yeah, I can understand the importance of what they did back then, big part of history these soldiers.

I have a few German WW2 medals lying about, I bought them when I was younger, I dunno why I bought them TBH! :lol:

 

[jambobbyb]

Hi Weasel, Would love to see what you have, German combat awards are a passion of mine,
All the best
James

 

[weasel]

Ehhhh I have idea where the **** they even are TBH. Lying in my folks somewhere. Will try and remember to dig them out

 

[jambobbyb]

HEHE Weasel i had the exact same thing this week with my SW figures they were under my old bed at my mums place!

I was an absolute Panini nut when i was a kid. Still am.
These are sets i sold ebay recently and 4 of my favourite sets as a kid.

 

[tundra9]

Panini sticker albums was the shiznizz!! I had Return of the Jedi, He-man and transformers, never completed them though.
I have my ROTJ album in a box somewhere, maybe it's time to give it some fresh air

I love the Transformers album. Brings back some memories. How much do they sell for? I may try to get hold of one in the future.

The Transformers one is my favourite all time album/sticker set. It arranges the stickers in a very cool way with pages dedicated to characters a bit like the way football albums had a page dedicated to each team. Most other albums from that time were just a random bunch of stickers attempting to tell some rubbish story. In that, the Transformers album stands out as one of the all time greats.

How much do they sell for? I may try to get hold of one in the future.

I sold a Transformers album and sticker set recently on ebay for £109. Had it listed for about 2 weeks and it went. I sold 2 Thundercats albums and sets for the same price but earlier this week i sold just the sticker set for £150!! The Thundercats albums i have a few of have been selling steadily for £35 each.
I love these albums from the mid 80s. Wish i could keep them all but the prices they go for it's far more fun to keep them for a little while until they sell!
If you don't want mint, unused examples of these, complete, used albums come up for sale all the time for around £10-£20 on ebay. There's a couple up now.

Thanks for that. I'd really like to add one of these to my small Transformers collection one day.

I do like those sticker albums, I remember my brother having that Thundercat one. I don't remember them being that common even back in the day.

[jackabina]

when i was a kid, i had a series of transformers books in which you could determin the story by choosing what actions the characters should take etc. it was almost multiple choice.

for example:
if bumblebee goes back to cybertron, go to page 72
if he goes to get optimus prime, go yo page 90

that kind of thing anyway.
did anyone else have anything like this?. i've had a quick look on ebay, but cant see anything.

 

[tundra9]

I only had some Donald Duck pocket books and some odd sci-fi books that had that kind of multiple choice stories.
Do you remember any titles?

 

[jackabina]

not at the moment. i can feel an afternoon in the folks loft coming on. i only ask because they were bloody ace, and my boys is at age where he could read them himself.
i must find these :evil:

 

[PIGCITY]

[jackabina]

Those books were the best but I never did one properly, I used to read each option and go with the best outcome to progress through the book :lol:

Don't think you were the only person who did that, I didn't know one person who read them correctly

 

[jackabina]

those find your fate books look close, but i dont recognise any of the covers. i may be wrong though.
